Design & Technology is a ‘hands on’ subject where children research, evaluate, design and then make a certain product to a high standard. Learning is practical and purposeful: children make products that solve problems in a variety of contexts, taking in to account the requirements of a particular target audience. From Reception onwards, children learn in depth about structures, systems, food technology and textiles. Design & Technology draws on a broad range of other disciplines such as maths, science, computing and art.
